Sinner Heart´s
Soul Food

 Krooked Tooth

The story of 'Sinner Heart`s Soul Food’ by Viennese band Krooked Tooth started decades before its release. It all began with a broken violin and a bootlegged Led Zeppelin-tape, leading 12-year-old Emanuel Preuschl to his crossroads: keep on scratching Mozart tunes at Christmas? Or follow the devil and squeeze out your soul on the filthiest stages of the world? No question! Switching to electric guitar opened the door to a parallel world, the world of feedback, fuzz and sweat. 

High-energy Freak Blues is the name of the game. To get there it took Emanuel Preuschl and Krooked Tooth some detours. Being ingeniously way-off has always been the quintessence of Rock`n`Roll. On his journey hardcore, metal, ska and hiphop were the weeds that Emanuel picked up from the curbside of the Walk of Fame, to stuff it into his botanizing drum. For later use! With TRAFO, an avant-garde-impro outfit with Daniel Pabst, Chris Janka and Claudius Jelinek, he reached a wider audience for the first time. 

Today, with Sebastian Müller on bass and skateboard and Martin Peham on drums, Krooked Tooth are hot as a Brunswick Stew fresh out of the oven. Attention - danger of blisters! Thrilling grooves, fancy basslines and fierce guitars - even the most sluggish of creatures will feel compelled to dance to that mix of high energy teamed up with the roughness of Howlin' Wolf, the passion of Lightnin' Hopkins, the uncompromisingness of Stevie Ray Vaughan and the swamp sound of 'Mississippi' John Hurt - it’s all there.

'Sinner Heart`s Soul Food’ is all about the love for playing the blues, for stretching it, rolling it, waltzing it, banging it against the wall and pressing it until it fits like a glove. But let us not forget Chris Janka, who produced the album like the two albums before. The restriction to the bare essentials and that crisp and direct sound develop an energy will grab the listeners by their ears to pull them along with Krooked Tooth on their rough ride on the curbside to fame, or hell, or else.
